I am finishing my cage and I am wondering what front seats I should use for my rig. I've got two dirty sagged front original seats of my BJ44 but they don't have any side support.
I thought about getting seats of some sports car, some used Recaros but I have hard time finding 'em. I plan to use my BJ as a trail machine - mostly for 2-4 days off-road expeditions and may be some mud/swamp/rock 1 day events. I though about putting in front seats from BMW E32 7-er series - nice, soft, comfortable and some back support but then I am afraid that they will trashed. Here is another option - something like that:

brand new $220 and I think I can get a better deal from a wreck/junk yard. What do you think? I am not sure if I need a 4 point harness belts and seat for this kind of action:

IF you like the recaros, any VW Jetta GLI from the 80's will have recaro buckets. I think that some of the GTI's did too. Don't know the availability or VW parts there, but they are pretty easy to find here.
I run the volvos, got them for free, but I think the base is a little big and the passenger side sits high if you have an in-cab gas tank.
